Privacy Policy
Berean Bible is built on the principle that Scripture should be freely accessible without barriers. That extends to your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Period.
What Data We Collect
None. Berean Bible has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising cookies, and no third-party data sharing. We cannot see how you use the app, because we do not measure it.
Your Reading Data
Your bookmarks, highlights, notes, reading-plan progress, and settings are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, this data also syncs privately through your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, so it follows you between your devices.
This data lives in your private iCloud database. Intent Mesh cannot access it, and it is never sent to any Intent Mesh server. Data kept this way includes:
- Bookmarked and highlighted verses
- Personal study notes
- Reading-plan progress and streaks
- Theme, typeface, and reading preferences
- Your last reading position
You can remove this data at any time from within the app, and you control iCloud syncing through your device's iCloud settings.
No Analytics, No Tracking
Berean Bible does not use Firebase, Google Analytics, or any other analytics or advertising service. There is no crash reporting that identifies you, no device fingerprinting, and no data brokers. Nothing you read is logged.
Optional System Features
Some features use Apple's on-device services, which run under your control and do not send data to Intent Mesh:
- Voice search. If you search by voice, speech recognition is handled by Apple on your device.
- Listen (read aloud). Chapters are spoken using Apple's built-in speech voices on your device.
- Notifications, widgets, Siri, and Spotlight. These use only content already on your device.
The Bible Text and References
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) text is in the public domain (CC0). Cross references are adapted from the OpenBible.info dataset, used under the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY). No licensing or account is required to read.
Children's Privacy
Berean Bible collects no personal information from anyone, including children. It is safe for readers of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
If our practices ever change, we will update this page with a new effective date. Because the app collects nothing, we do not anticipate material changes.
